Pink cabled sweater

It seems like I've been working on this sweater for a while now! I finished this back piece on Saturday and have cast-on for the front. It's knitted with Rowan Calmer yarn which can be a bit slippery but it's soft scumptiousness is worth it.

My pattern called for me to stop the center cable a little sooner than I did. What can I say? I was on a cabling roll.

I'm really proud of how the sweater pieces look so far. I only hope that the front piece turns out as nicely (and that it will fit me once I finish it!)

On another note, I really enjoyed listening to Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" audiobook during my recent travels. The book, offered by Audible.com, featured several wonderful readers. I loved reading this book (around 10 years ago) and some of the sequels. If you haven't read it, consider picking it up or listening to it.
